VHS Movie Reviews of Lonely Are the Brave [VHS]
Movie Review: Finally
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of this film for years and years now, ever since I first saw in on the Western Channel that we had back when Primestar was still around. I looked for it on dvd, but never found it and discovered it was in fact, still unavailable. Flash forward a few years and I'm working at an on the verge of collapsing dvd/video store. They decide, while I'm there, that they're going to throw away ALL of their video tapes. I talk my manager into letting me have them instead. I end up with four thousand video tapes. In this behemoth I find a pretty good quality video tape of Lonely are the Brave and rediscover how much I love it. Flash forward a few more years and I catch a newly remastered version on TCM and I'm pissed about my crappy video tape. I want a dvd now! And now, finally someone was smart enough to put this thing on dvd, cleaned up and in widescreen.
I'm left wanting on the special features, especially since there's no commentary, but I can live with this. The simple fact that I now have this cleaned up version is quite enough to quell my years of frustration at Hollywood for not releasing some of their best films to dvd.
Movie Review: the Edward Abbey angle
Summary: 5 Stars
I hadn't paid attention and so was pleasantly surprised when watching the extra afterward in which Kirk mentions wanting to make the movie because he loved the book Brave Cowboy, written by Edward Abbey. If you know and love Edward Abbey, the whole story clicks into his perspective. Even so, the spine of the story is rather clunky and under motivated, with preposterous situations. Abbey was digging deeper into the basic point than anyone else, and focused on that rather than on the overall demands of storytelling. Yet that in itself adds magically to the charm of this movie, which deconstructs the assumptions of modern sensibilities, showing how they don't fit so well with anyone determined to be free. There were other naturalists and environmentalists before Abbey, but none so militant. Lots of funny, brainy, engaging aspects throughout the story.
Kirk Douglas hired Dalton Trumbo to write the screenplay, and insisted that Trumbo be openly credited, which Douglas says broke the blacklist. Kirk was a real humanist, and you can see in this movie, among his favorites, how closely he identifies with the central character. Fine acting in all the supporting roles too, with early performances by a number of later familiar faces.
Movie Review: The Best Kirk Douglas ever did
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited a few years for this DVD to come out and it was worth it. Not a big movie or a blockbuster but still dear to my heart. Thanks Amazon!Movie Review: Excellent Film
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful film that holds your attention through out.
Always been one of my top ten westons, a must to own if you are a cowboy at heart, Even though it is a moden weston it has Old weston values. The Soundtrack is another must to own.
Movie Review: A Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Kirk Douglas said in an interview that this was his favorite of all the movies he ever made. I totally agree. The movie offers so much. I loved it the first time I saw it. I rarely view a movie more than once, but this is right up there with my short list of all time favorites.
